Hate Diggbar? Kill it with a userscript
There have been more than a few gripes about Digg's new iFrame toolbar. They're stealing content. It interferes with SEO. They're selling ads on other people's content.
If you share those gripes and would like to permanently bury the bar, there are already two userscripts available to do just that. Both DiggBar Killer and Anti Diggbar get the job done. While neither actually blocks the bar completely, both scripts will quickly redirect you to the unshortened, original URL of the item you want to view.
They'll get the job done for now, but it's probably safe to assume that some disgruntled coder is already working on a way to bypass the shortened Digg links completely and send you on your way completely Diggbar-free.
If you're a Digg member, you can also turn off the bar when opening links by changing a setting on your viewing preferences (pictured above).

Digg bar sucks. Ruined that site for me.

See the X all the way on the right of the DiggBar? Hover over that and a dropdown will appear allowing you to always hide the DiggBar. No user script needed!

Yes, but once you restart your browser the diggbar will reappear - unless you still accept cookies from random sites.

Or you could go into your digg profile and the viewing preferences in the settings and turn it off....

Thanks. I didn't know you can do that. Much better than using a script.

I did mention that at the bottom of the post. There's a screenshot even.

I hate digg. Can that also be killed with a userscript?
